For Adults: Turn On Multi-Factor Authentication
Multi-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of protection to your online accounts and takes only a few minutes to set up. Once enabled, it makes it significantly harder for hackers to access your accounts, even if they have your password. To turn it on, go to your account settings, find the security section, and follow the prompts to enable 2FA using a phone number, email, or authentication app.
For Kids: Guard Your Location on Social Media
Sharing your location online can reveal exactly where you are in real time, even if it seems harmless. Avoid adding location tags to posts, photos, or videos, and make sure location services are turned off for social media apps. Parents can also adjust device settings to block location access for specific apps while still allowing helpful tools like maps.
